Summary
Harry Potter and Tom Riddle are nobodies, street urchins with unpromising prospects and families that don't want them, living in a world always on the brink of collapse. A shrill cry tears through London and their lives are turned on their heads.
What was once mere coexistence transforms into something much harder for either to escape.

Summary
“Hi, Harry. I heard you’re back in London. Would you like to meet up? For old-time’s sake. How’s that bar in Diagon—you know the one—let's say, eight o’ next Saturday? Call me back if a different time would work better for you.”

Summary
Two hundred years ago, the world died.
All that remains is a technicolor wasteland, swirling with ash and populated by radiation-warped humans. Tom, immortal and bloodthirsty, crowns herself queen of this ruined world and wanders it namelessly, building and burning empires at will.
Then there's Harry: eyes like chips of sea glass, hopeful in the face of the apocalypse -- and by far the most dangerous person Tom's ever met.

Summary
It must say a lot about how twisted and fucked up Harry is, if in his final hour, rather than show him his parents, the Resurrection Stone conjures up a younger version of the Dark Lord. But this is a version of Voldemort that Harry knows not. And yet perhaps it is the truest one of all.
“So, I succeeded. I became Lord Voldemort.”
“Yes.”
“You’re wrong then.”
“What?”
“You don’t know me. You only know him.” -

Summary
"O, isn't this what my mother never wanted?" - Analicia Sotelo, 'South Texas Persephone'.
Tom Riddle was not the only strange child to come out of Wool's. After eleven years of self-imposed exile, Amy Benson returns to Hogwarts to protect the only thing that matters: her precocious daughter, Mae. Offered the position of Potions Master, her alma mater seems like the safest place to keep Mae away from the darker elements of their world. But the wizarding world of 1957 is not the one Amy remembers, and while the threat of war may be over, she quickly discovers that peace in magical Britain is far from assured. As a radical new faction led by a charismatic Tom Gaunt rises to power in the Ministry, and a rapidly expanding Hogwarts braces for a post-war generation determined to leave its mark, Amy and Mae find that the secrets they keep for and from one another may be their undoing.

Summary
"Now I have three heads: one for speech, one for sex, and one for second guessing." - Analicia Sotelo. 'South Texas Persephone'.
Her door clicks open and nearly clips her in the face. It could be a sudden draft, but Amy is doubtful. Her fist clenches shut around the marble. It is pretty. She could look at it for hours, the way it catches the light. It’s almost like a sweet. Want curls up in her chest like a cat. She thinks she’ll keep it. A gift from the big grey orphanage, just to her.
“That’s mine,” comes a thin, cold voice, and she sees the boy across the hall for the first time. His room is directly across from hers. He is pretty, she thinks, like a drawing from a book. The lines of his face are smooth and pale. His hair is dark and neatly parted. He holds himself very rigidly, like a miniature soldier or a wind-up toy. “That’s mine,” he repeats, sharply.
(In which Tom Riddle is not the only strange child to come out of Wool's.)
